Cataclysm 85 Hunter Best in Slot Gear Options, Obtainable Gear and Enchants

kruxor cataclysm hunter class preview.jpg

So the server is down for the night, better do some gear research. ;) My hunter just hit 77 so i haven’t even started the gear grind yet, but its good to have some kind of idea what to look for.

Anyway Here goes, I have listed the initial obtainable gear from just quest rewards and getting faction gear, and a few PVP pieces. I really just prefer PVP rather than just maxxing the DPS in PVE. So these are obviously a good place to start for gear and not best of the best, I can list this later on if anyone wants it ;) . Anyway its a good place to start. I found a great site that you can punch in your class and spec and it will show u all the best items for you spec and the most popular Gems and Enchants to get as well, its at MaxDps.com

Anyway on with the gear listings (Hunter BiS List, for starters), this should keep you busy rep grinding and PVP’ing for a while…:

Head

[Windhome Helm]
Wildhammer Clan – Revered
Agile Shadowspirit Diamond (75.18 dps) Deadly Ember Topaz (34.49 dps)
[Snarling Helm]
Dragonmaw Clan – Revered
Agile Shadowspirit Diamond (75.18 dps) Deadly Ember Topaz (34.49 dps)

[Bloodthirsty Gladiator's Chain Helm]
PVP Reward

Agile Shadowspirit Diamond (75.18 dps) Delicate Inferno Ruby (55.60 dps)

Head Enchant

[Arcanum of the Ramkahen] 
Ramkahen – Revered

[Arcanum of Torment] 
Knights of the Ebon Blade – Revered

Neck

[Don Rodrigo's Fabulous Necklace]
    359

Consider the fact that you can get Acorn of the Daughter Tree from The Guardians of Hyjal upon leaving Mount Hyjal and, at the time of writing this, you can get Sweet Perfume Broach through spamming the Royal Crown queue. While not as good, you save yourself a huge chunk of coin for 13 ilvls of stats and if you’re in a good raiding guild, you’ll potentially have access to Necklace of Strife which is BiS prior to heroics for some classes.

It makes me wonder if dumping anything north of 10 – 15k is worth it simply because it’s purple.

Every now and then…in a very great while…you get lucky in WoW.

I was browsing through the Auction House while waiting for a Guild raid invite.

Armor > Miscellaneous > Neck, Epic filter, search. Don Rodrigo’s Fabulous Necklace pops up, with a buyout price of 3K. I did a double take, clicked it to make sure that I wasn’t seeing things, and bought it immediately. Reforged haste to hit, equipped, got my invite and entered Blackwing Descent very, very happy.

 

[Brazen Elementium Medallion]
Jewelcrafting
Delicate Inferno Ruby (55.60 dps)   346

 

Or you can alywas get one of these ^ crafted for you, or if your lucky pick one up on the AH.

[Bloodthirsty Gladiator's Necklace of Prowess]

 

Shoulder

[Bloodthirsty Gladiator's Chain Spaulders]
Delicate Inferno Ruby (55.60 dps)
[Mantle of Moss]
Honored – The Earthen Ring

[Bloodied Dragonscale Chest]
Leatherworking

Chest Enchant

[Enchant Chest - Peerless Stats]

[Enchant Chest - Mighty Stats]

 

Wrist

[Bloodthirsty Gladiator's Wristguards of Alacrity]

[Bloodied Dragonscale Bracers]

Wrist Enchant

It seems here that the older enchant from wrath actually stacks up for better dps than the new one for crit. Id probably take assault over the crit.

[Enchant Bracers - Greater Assault]

[Enchant Bracer - Greater Critical Strike]

 

Hands

[Bloodthirsty Gladiator's Chain Gauntlets]
Delicate Inferno Ruby (55.60 dps)
[Bloodied Dragonscale Gloves]
Leatherworking

Hands Enchant

[Enchant Gloves - Major Agility]

[Enchant Gloves - Superior Agility]

 

Waist / Belt

[Bloodthirsty Gladiator's Links of Cruelty]
Delicate Inferno Ruby (55.60 dps)
[Belt of the Stargazer]
Honored – Ramkahen
Delicate Inferno Ruby (55.60 dps)
[Bloodied Dragonscale Belt]
Leatherworking

Id probably get one of those buckle’s that go on the belts as well so you can chuck an extra gem in there. There usually pretty cheap depending on your server. Can find them on auction house for about 50-100g or so. Creates a prismatic socket.

Must keep concentrating on gear action ;) … Gets boring writing up all this stuff after a while, ah well nearly there!

 

Legs

[Bloodthirsty Gladiator's Chain Leggings]
Delicate Inferno Ruby (55.60 dps)Delicate Inferno Ruby (55.60 dps)
[Gryphon-Grip Leggings]
Twilight Highlands
[Bloodied Dragonscale Legs]
Leatherworking

Legs Enchant

Here i would take the AP over the Agility as it actually ads more to the DPS. So go the Dragon Scale Leg armor if you can afford it ;) Last i checked they were around 500-700 gold. your already gonna have a ton of stam anyway, and more DPS usually wins the fight. but if you feel that you really need the stam hit, then take the extra stam, and tank it.

[Dragonscale Leg Armor] 
Leatherworking

[Charscale Leg Armor] 
Leatherworking

Feet

[Treads of Malorne]
Exalted – Guardians of Hyjal
Delicate Inferno Ruby (55.60 dps)
[Bloodthirsty Gladiator's Sabatons of Alacrity]
Delicate Inferno Ruby (55.60 dps)
[Bloodied Dragonscale Boots]
Leatherworking

 

Feet Enchant

Now i like the speed increase as much as anyone, but i think it equals about 1% faster walking / running speed, so just take the Agil if you dont really care about running faster, DPS wise the Major agility enchant wins, but if you find it useful take the Assassins Step.

[Enchant Boots - Major Agility]

[Enchant Boots - Assassin's Step]

 

Rings

[Elementium Destroyer's Ring]
Jewelcrafting
Delicate Inferno Ruby (55.60 dps)

[Band of Blades]
Jewelcrafting
Delicate Inferno Ruby (55.60 dps)

[Terrath's Signet of Balance]
Revered – Therazane

[Bloodthirsty Gladiator's Ring of Accuracy]

 

Trinkets

If your PVPing a lot and need the anti stun trinket, get this one as well as one of the ones listed below. Or if your hard core ;) just get 2 of the following.

[Quicksilver Alchemist Stone]
Alchemy
Delicate Inferno Ruby (55.60 dps)

[Heart of the Vile]
[Figurine - Demon Panther]
Jewelcrafting
 

 

Ranged Weapon – The Juice!

Now i havent listed any of the epic PVP gear just yet, as its not really that easily obtinable. But i will list the epic bow here as its one of the best ranges weaps in the game, and you can actually get it by just getting an arena team together and just running a few arenas each week should get you a couple of hundred points and on your way to a nice shiney epic bow, gun or xbow (all the same stats) Just depends what you prefer the look of.

[Vicious Gladiator's Longbow]
 

 

The Next best one is the engineering gun, should be available in the AH for a LOT of gold, im guessing i havent checked yet…

[Kickback 5000]
Engineering
Delicate Inferno Ruby (55.60 dps)

This is probably the one ill end up with for a while, as i dont really like guns, just too noisy really… Anyway this one is available as a rep reward after just doing a few (lot)… tol barads and dailies.

[Sky Piercer]
Baradin’s Wardens – Revered
 

If you want something to hold you over til you can get one of the above, this sometimes sells in AH pretty cheap really, about 500-700 gold usually is a good price guide, but some people just have to crank up the price. Anyway, this is a nice bow as well.

[Ravenheart Longbow]

Or you can get this one from the Quest in Twilight Highlands

[Big Bendy Blasting Bow]
Twilight Highlands
 

Weapon

[Elementium Poleaxe]
Blacksmithing
  Polearm

[Mobus's Vile Halberd]

[Staff of Old Woes]

 

Phew… Now i can go and watch Man vs Wild! Yay… Happy Gear Grinding. ;)

Making Some Easy Money From Collecting Low Level Herbs

kruxor wmplayer 2009 08 23 11 27 33 49miller.jpg

Its actually harder than you think to find the best place to farm herbs. I have found a couple for you listed below. Now some of these herbs are going for more than 100g per stack, and you can get a stack worth in about 10 minutes if you just follow these maps.

Wild Steelbloom – Northern STV or Northern Stranglethorn


This is has by far the highest concentration of Wild Steelbloom with 91 notes listed here, the following also have some nodes but slightly less concentration of herbs. Stonetalon Mountains (84), Ashenvale (78), Arathi Highlands (64), Desolace (43),Wetlands (27), Duskwood (19), The Hinterlands (18),

Highest Concentration of Goldthorn – Arathi Highlands


65 Nodes of Golthorn are located here, other places this can be found are

Dustwallow Marsh (48), The Hinterlands (45), Feralas (26), The Cape of Stranglethorn (19) and Desolace (11).

Sungrass in Eastern Plaguelands


Has over 250 Nodes here! you should be able to farm this stuff witin a few minutes per stack easy. Esp if you have a epic flyer ;) . Other locations for this are

Thousand Needles (201), Badlands (84), Burning Steppes (75), Tanaris (46), Searing Gorge (37), Silithus (34), Un’Goro Crater (28

Khadgar’s Whisker in Eastern Plaguelands


Tons of nodes here over 350! other locations for Khadgars Whisker are

 Western Plaguelands (152), Feralas (132), The Cape of Stranglethorn (77), Arathi Highlands (50), Dustwallow Marsh (50), Desolace (40),

So im thinking of dropping my Mining Skill for Alchemy

kruxor wowforums.jpg

As my gear is currently so … not cool on the mage. I was thinking of leveling alchemy again.

I already have herbalism leveled all the way up, so dropping mining will be sad but i got more than enough cash really and herbs still sell quite well on the AH. I found a few Total Matts Needed for powereleveling alchemy, they differ quite a bit i guess cos of the skills changed in Cata. The flasks you can make give you quite a bit of an advantage and you can also mage a nice trinket when you get to max level. So its worth it i think. Flask of Enhancement and Vibrant Alchemist Stone

Here is the newer of the two lists:

Approximate Materials Required for 1-525:

  • 59 x Peacebloom
  • 59 x Silverleaf
  • 93 x Briarthorn

I made a guide for a guildy who was levelling alchemy. It’s definitely not perfect, but I figured I’d post it since there’s no guide for it here yet. A few notes:

1) I tried to stay away from things like Stranglekelp, Wintersbite, Icecap, etc. They can be a pain to gather, since they are only found in specific locations (especially Wintersbite)
2) For the most part you’ll be skilling on orange recipes. This is because I wanted to be as sure as possible about how many mats were needed.
3) Where it says “approximately xx combines” that means you will be skilling into the yellow-green range, where “exactly xx combines” means it should be orange the whole way.
4) I’m fairly sure I overshot quite a bit on most of the approximate combines, so you may have extra mats.
5) The northrend section can be done quite a few different ways. Feel free to experiment.

Total mats list is at the bottom (I didn’t tally up the vials, I’m assuming you’ll buy those as needed).

Making a http://www.wowhead.com/spell=38070 at this point will allow you to do transmutes.
You can also specialize at L68+: http://www.wowwiki.com/Alchemy#Alchemy_Specializations
http://www.wowhead.com/spell=45061 from 325-340 – approximately 20 combines – 40 ragveil, 20 crystal vial

http://www.wowhead.com/spell=54218 from 385-395 – exactly 10 combines – 20 tiger lily, 10 crystal vial
At this point I would highly recommend doing http://www.wowhead.com/spell=60350 (note: http://www.wowhead.com/spell=38070 or equivalent required) from 395-420 if you can afford (or are able to mine) the 200 saronite bars required. You can then sell the titanium bars and you will also get a number of transmute discoveries. Otherwise, continue:
http://www.wowhead.com/spell=53840 from 395-400 – exactly 5 combines – 10 goldclover, 10 adder’s tongue, 5 crystal vial
*see below
http://www.wowhead.com/spell=53905 from 400(401)-415 – exactly 15 combines – 30 icethorn, 15 crystal vial
http://www.wowhead.com/spell=53837 from 415-420 – approximately 10 combines – 20 lichbloom, 10 goldclover, 10 crystal vial
http://www.wowhead.com/spell=60350 from 420-430 – approximately 25 combines – 200 saronite bars
Alternatively, you can stop transmuting saronite at 425 and start doing http://www.wowhead.com/spell=57427 and/or (430+) http://www.wowhead.com/spell=57425 to 435 (440 even, in the case of skyflare)

At 435+ you can start making the various flasks: http://www.wowhead.com/spell=53903 http://www.wowhead.com/spell=54213 http://www.wowhead.com/spell=53902http://www.wowhead.com/spell=53901 - for skill. These are very material intensive, and thus I will not list approximate or exact materials here – You’re on your own to decide which is most useful to you and/or profitable on your server.

*One of these three is recommended for trinket use if you are levelling your character at the same time as alchemy: http://www.wowhead.com/spell=60403 - http://www.wowhead.com/spell=60396 -http://www.wowhead.com/spell=60405 - See links for mats (varies)
